We brought together an all star team of six diverse artists to create a powerful anthem for the new Women’s Rights movement. This project included several levels of development, and was filmed on location at three national parks including the site of the first Women’s Rights Convention in Seneca Falls, NY. The film is a resource for education, inspiration, and mobilization, and builds bridges from the past to the present with hard-hitting imagery and intergenerational representation.

This fun music video celebrates Latin American inventors, and educates in a culturally relevant manner. The song was created by our partner, Griot B from his new LatinX History Album “Historia,” and is part of the #STEAMtheStreets initiative to inspire the next inventors, engineers, and designers. The video was directed by Ben Gilbarg and filmed with students at Aspire College Preparatory Academy in Richmond, CA.

Randy Riggins is an Engineering Manager for Adobe Project 1324. Randy shares his story and his career path in this video. STEAM Powered is a series profiling diverse professionals, and part of #STEAMtheStreets, an initiative to inspire and activate underrepresented youth to pursue STEAM careers. This video was produced in partnership with #YesWeCode, a national initiative to help 100,000 young women and men from underrepresented backgrounds find success in the tech sector.

Big Picture Anthems partnered with School Yard Rap to create an all inclusive music video about Black inventors. The upbeat anthem is from the first ever Black History Album, “Ourstory” by Griot B. “Black Made That,” brings to life inventions created by Black American trailblazers that shaped the fabric of our country. We worked with more than 400 students from New Bedford, MA to Richmond, CA, featuring them as young stars of the video. This included a dance choreography program at Carney Academy in NB, MA. We employed a motion graphic approach to accentuate more than 25 Black-made inventions, and invested countless hours of research and development to create an effective tool that educators can utilize during Black History Month and beyond.

We envisioned a glorious anthem to inspire New Bedford youth to take better care of their health, their business and community. New Bedford native and America’s Got Talent semi-finalist Samantha Johnson was brought in to write and record the anthem “We Run This” (with Pride). Casting calls and info sessions were held to involve local youth. We worked with community partners to involve more than 300 young people in the project. Our team, in partnership with Medium Studio, created a youth resource website – werunthisNB.com, where resources were vetted and centralized. We held the launch at the historic Zeiterion Theatre with 500 in attendance, and the youth stars filled the stage. Partnership with New Bedford Guide’s Facebook channel helped the video eclipse 125,000 views and 3,000 social shares through organic reach. Boosted levels of city pride and self confidence were off the charts, and the video remains a go-to engagement tool for New Bedford educators.

Commissioned by Eastern National, in partnership with the National Mall and Memorial Parks in Washington D.C, “The Struggle” is filmed on location at eight different monuments on the National Mall. Hundreds of photos were sourced, scenes were recreated, and weather and other aversions made the production an interesting adventure. The video is a powerful statement about the historical quest for civil and equal rights in the USA made culturally relevant through modern musical techniques and the lens of the songwriter / performers from YAP! “The Struggle” has a 195% higher engagement rate than any other video on the National Mall’s Facebook Page.

The National Park Service reached out to YAP! to create an anthem for their one-hundred year birthday. Big Picture Anthems set out to tell a compelling story of youth experiencing national parks, which resulted in trips to seven national parks in New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Massachusetts. We designed the “History Machine” van, a star of the video transporting youth from park to park. The video became an integral part of the NPS “Find Your Park” campaign executed by Grey Advertising, and was screened at major NPS Centennial celebration events throughout the nation.

This was the first video was produced for #STEAMtheStreets, an initiative to inspire and activate underrepresented youth to pursue STEM & STEAM careers. The goal of this video is to excite, engage and energize youth of all ages and backgrounds about STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math). Ben Gilbarg directed this video, and it features a STEAM Mural painted at Carney Academy in New Bedford, MA by Mad One and Jus One. It features footage filmed at the STEAM Carnival in Los Angeles and San Francisco.
